Loup Loup torched? was created by pipedream
Heard through the grapevine that Loup Loup Ski Bowl has fallen victim to the Carlton Complex fire. Hoping the rumors aren't true, as "The Loup" was one of the few ski areas in the state I hadn't yet visited :'(
Anyone have additional info on the state of affairs there? I know Pateros took a major hit and both Hwy 20 and 153 are closed between Twisp and the summit of Loup Loup pass and the Columbia, respectively.

I heard third or fourth hand that the lodge didn't make it. I hope the new bathrooms did.

Unbelievable that anyone could joke about this. The whole situation is utterly tragic.

If you are talking about my comment, I'm wasn't joking. I can see how it looks that way. The new bathroom is really nice and was a recent volunteer effort. My comment was sincere.

On the bright side I just heard from my family(locals) that fire fighters were able to save the loup loup via aerial bombardment.

Just saw some flyover video of the loup loup. Looks like the chairlift and buildings near the summit are intact. Pretty sure the lower buildings are safe as well.
WOop WOoop.

Loup-loup's FB page just posted an update confirming no damage. Fire burned right up to the edge of the area, but brave efforts by the firefighters kept it at bay.

here is a link to the webcam!
date is not correct on the top cam but seems to be correct on the base area cam.
www.skitheloup.com/the_mountain/loup_cam/
one of the 2 very cool historic small areas connected (almost ) by hyway 20 in WA!
if you like loup loup you should also visit hurricane ridge, it has a 3 cylinder dogleg poma!
i love those low key areas! very few powder hounds on storm days!
